Baby cried the day the new priests came to town<br />

‘Cause she didn’t want the courts to start accusing her<br />

So she put her ash on her head and wore a burlap gown<br />

<strong>The</strong>n she joined that convent in the briars<br />

I know a lot about ‘er ‘cause, you see<br />

Baby is an awful lot like me.<br />

Chorus Twice:<br />

Don’t scry out loud<br />

Just keep it inside, learn how to hide you talent<br />

Fly high and proud<br />

And if you should tell, remember the divine has changed names.<br />

Baby saw when they pulled that big tree down<br />

<strong>The</strong>y burnt-up all her dreams during that winter<br />

<strong>The</strong> different kind <strong>of</strong> god now wore a frown<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was nothin’ left but sawdust and some splinters.<br />

But baby can’t be broken ‘cause you see<br />

She had the precious acorns –from that tree- which told ’er<br />

Chorus Thrice<br />

Why Do Fools Join My Grove?<br />

(Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, Beach Boys Version)<br />

by Mike Scharding, D.C. Grove<br />

2001 for the Public Domain<br />

Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doo Dut<br />

Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah<br />

Why do fools join my grove?<br />

Why do most refuse t’pay?<br />

Vig’lers fall ‘sleep at the break <strong>of</strong> day?<br />

Why do fools join my grove?<br />

Why is Beltane snowed on from above,<br />

So cold I must wear gloves?<br />

Where’s our Gods’ joyful love?<br />

Why can’t my bard write even simple rhymes?<br />

Why do our rituals take so much time?<br />

Tell me why, why.<br />

Why did I start this grove?<br />

Why do fools fall in wells?<br />

Why can’t we work a spell?<br />

Moon doesn’t come up at night?<br />

Why can’t things work out right?<br />

Why is Beltane snowed on from above,<br />

So cold I must wear gloves?<br />

398<br />

Where’s our Gods’ joyful love?<br />

Tell me why, why<br />

Why can’t we be tax free?<br />

Tell me my, why<br />

Why do I still bother?<br />

Are You Sleeping Tonight?<br />

By Pat Haneke, Akita Grove,<br />

Nov. 2001, for the Public Domain<br />

In memory <strong>of</strong> Nozomi’s First Vigiling Attempt.<br />

Original Lyrics By Roy Turk/Lou Handman sung by Elvis<br />

“Are You Lonesome Tonight?”<br />

Music at http://www.christeen.net/midi.html<br />

Are you sleepy tonight?<br />

Do your eyes feel tight?<br />

Are you sorry you drifted asleep?<br />

Does your memory stray to a bright Beltane day,<br />

When you laid with him(her) in the forest deep?<br />

Do the rocks in the grove site seem pointy and hard?<br />

Do you gaze at the campfire and wish to be a bard?<br />

Are your eyes filled with sand?<br />

Do faeries walk the land?<br />

Tell me dear, are you sleepy tonight?<br />

SPOKEN IN A SULTRY VOICE:<br />

I wonder if you’re sleepy tonight.<br />

You know staying up gets harder with age.<br />

And each <strong>of</strong> us plays a role.<br />

Fate has me waiting in the woods while you’re in the grove<br />

Part One you lit the fire<br />

It burnt bright at first light<br />

I shared some thoughts, so sincere, and never missed a cue<br />

<strong>The</strong>n came Part Two<br />

Your armor chinked, you went to think<br />

And sigh…, I should’ve known<br />

Honey, you lied when you said you’d rested today<br />

But I had no cause to doubt you<br />

Now the fire’s gone out and I’m standing there<br />

In the rosy rays <strong>of</strong> dawn’s light.<br />

So, if you just can’t stay awake,<br />

<strong>The</strong>n we can try another night.<br />

SINGING<br />

Is your head filled with rest?<br />

Would next ev’ning be best?<br />

Tell me, dear, are you sleepy tonight?
